Merry 



THE NEW YEAR.. 


MERRY time is the New Year's time, 

When the snow lies white and still 

Over the meadows and valleys fair, 

And over the sloping hills; 

When the sound of sleigh-bells fills the air,— 

A cheering sound to hear,— 

And voices of friends with greeting kind, 

To welcome the glad New Year. 

A precious time is the New Year's time, 

As we count our treasures o'er,— 

Blessings our Father in mercy sends 

From his exhaustless store; 

Blessings and comforts we cannot count, 

He sendeth us far and near; 

Then gratefully, children, thank the Lord, 

As you welcome the glad New Year.
